In June 2004, the University established the Academic Research Office, which was later renamed the Research and Technology Administration Office in January, 2011 due to organizational restructuring and increased emphasis on research work. The Office is currently divided into three main divisions: Administration, Finance, and Industry-Academia-Research. Its primary role is to serve university researchers and assist the Research Committee in formulating research policies and schedules.

Research and Administration team is responsible for organizing the application and management of various research projects, the declaration and management of university research achievements and awards, as well as researchers, patents, and further matters of application and maintenance.  It also oversees the editorial department of the Journal of Macau University of Science and Technology, which handles all aspects of journal review and publication. Reimbursement is responsible for the daily management of project funds, budget adjustments, monitoring, and financial system review. The Industry-University-Research team is responsible for managing and protecting intellectual property related to research, as well as the transfer and commercialization of technological achievements.

Furthermore, the Office actively participates in major research events in Macau, such as Science and Technology Week and the project completion exhibition, and collaborates with institutions such as the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, in various academic activities and seminars to deepen the foundation of university research and maintain good communication.
